The Roadmap

"How could using the Roadmap help you track your progress and artifacts that you complete as you use these resources?"

Some students and teachers find it helpful to track the different Things and Quests completed during the semester or year. Some school districts use different Things with different core content classes. For example: 

  • An English teacher might use 4. Suite Tools and 18. Digital Storytelling as part of their course.
  • A Technology class might have students complete Things 1-7 in 6th grade, Things 8-14 in 7th grade, and Things 9-21 in 8th grade.
  • A math teacher might use 5. Digital Footprint, 13. Dig the Data, 15. Design Thinking and 21 Computational Thinking.
